TS1717 Mac. stops playing after two or three songs.  have tried restart to no effect.

I usually play iTunes in DJ mode.  Lately, the player quits playing after just a few songs.  My library is on an external drive, and it has never been a problem. The dashboard indicates the player is in play mode, but the track does not advance.  I have tried restarting the system, but it does the same thing. I am running it (iTunes 10.6.3) on an older iMac (20 inch Early 2008) with Intel processor, 4GB of RAM and OS X version 10.8.1(12B19). 

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd already done that, so it's some other problem here.

    I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browsers, fire wall and virus protection off and also to download the trial of Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but result is every time same.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Since i have upgraded to ios6 , internet stops working after a minute max , i have tried everything , my other ipad works fine on the same internet , and so does my iphone they are on previous software , please help me

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why does my ipod classic stop playing after a few songs?

    why does my ipod classic stop playing after just a few songs?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

  • Why does  the restore process crash after 15 minutes?  I have tried five times and it stops every time.

    My new iPad quit recognizing my password after two days.  I have tried five times to restore it and every time it seems to be working ok (downloading) and then it tells me that iTunes can't recognize my iPad without entering my password.  Of course it no longer recognizes my password so there is no way out of this catch-22.  The tech support member in the chat room suggested using my old laptop running windows 7 instead of my new iMac retina 27.*

    Hi Go to Settings Restore back to Factory settings. Since ios 7 everything can be done over your WiFi You don't need to use your PC unless you have lost your Firmware. Try Restore over your WiFi. Use same password Apple ID. Cheers Brian

  • My phone is stuck in the restoring process after 4 days of trying to restore from icloud? What should I do? I have tried restarting the phone and it hasn't worked and I can't cancel backup or it's says it will delete it? Please help!!!

    Hi
    My phone is stuck in restoring from icloud after 4 days. I have tried restarting it and if I try to cancel backup it says data will delete data
    Please help!!!,

    There is no way out.
    Restart the restore procedure and make sure you are connected to the wall power adapter and have Internet connection.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    At the end it will ask whether you want to restore, choose iCloud backup.

  • TS1717 my music videos stop playing after 3 minutes

    my music videos stop playing after 3 mins it happens to them all they worked fine before I upgraded to the new software

    No there is no particular limit, especially one as short as 4 minutes in the Flash player or a Web page in general.
    The video file may have been corrupted before or during upload to server.
    Test the original video file on your local machine, does it play the entire length? is so, notice the file size.
    Compare that size to the file size of the video on the server... if they are the same, you might want to re-upload anyway.
    Your video file will also have a web address that specifies exactly where it is located on your server. Do a direct download and test the file to see if it is courrupt.
    It will have an address something like this:
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/chris_test/tombstone/video1.flv
    So download your file directly from the server and play on your local machine to see if it's longer than 4 min.
    Could it be that your Web host only allows certain size files (no videos over 4 min for example)?
    Best wishes,
    Adninjastrator

  • Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

    Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs.  Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring.  Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change.  Checked/emptied cache.

    There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
    What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
    try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
    try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

  • My iPod shuffle stops playing after a few songs, then it won't start again.

    My iPod shuffle will stop playing after a few songs which is very frustrating while out walking.  I end up having to shut it off for about a minute or two and then turn it back on.  Sometimes it will start playing again, but it will start playing the same songs over again.  I can't go forward or go back.  When I try to skip a song, all I get is dead air.  I took it back to an Apple store and they replaced it free of charge; which I thought was great... that is until the new iPod started doing the exact same thing.  I've downloaded songs from the iTunes store as well as songs off of my personal CD's.  I've tried deleting all the songs and re-installing them... nothing seems to solve this problem.  I know it only costs $50; but if Apple can't get a $50 item to work; why in the world would I want to invest more money in an Apple product?  It's a good thing this was a gift.... I'm just not happy with this product and there doesn't seem to be a good explanation for this.

    I Just ran into the same issue:
    My iPod shuffle 4th gen would just stop playing, and I had to turn it off, wait 10 secs and the turn it back on.
    Then it would get stuck at the same place.
    I Even exchanged the iPod for a new one since I had just bought it.
    re-synced my playlist and same issue!
    did a restore as described above - same issue.
    Solution in my case:
    one of the songs in my playlist seems was "corrupt". Even trying to play the song in iTunes on the PC did not work, kept getting the message "This computer is not authorized ....", even though the computer is authorized.
    So somehow that song being on the shuffle crashes it.
    After I removed that song from the playlist and synced again, the problem was resolved!
    So try to play all the songs that you want to sync to your shuffle on your computer, maybe you have one song that was not downloaded properly or is otherwise corrupt.
    - Deleted the song from the local library
    - re-downloaded the song from iTunes store
    - now it was playing fine on the PC in iTunes
    - re-added it to the playlist, re-synced iPod shuffle
    all is working fine now, shuffle no longer freezes.
    hope that helps someone else....

  • HT1711 When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    When I am in the iTunes store site and listening to samples of music the songs stop playing after 12 seconds. Does anyone know a way to get it to play the full one and one half minutes?

    I have a similar problem with at least two songs that I know of, one is an iTunes download (encrypted) the other was imported from a CD using iTunes (no encryption). Both songs play 2-3 seconds then immediately go to the next song. The "weird" thing -- I plugged my iPod into my new MacBook which has no songs other than what are on my iPod (i.e., not playing the song from another source) and both songs play fine. Unplug the iPod from the computer, plug in headphones and the songs skip again.
    I've gone through the 5 R's as well, with no luck.

  • The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

    If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
    If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
    You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

  • Stop playing after 1 minute

    iPod shuffle about 2 months old. Since a view days stops playing after 55 seconds. No indication on the LEDs. If you press Pause/Play green LED blinks for 1 minute. It seems all other functions are there but no audio output. iPod is in room temperature, no moisture. Battery is fully loaded, latest iTunes installed. Just every time stops playing after 55 seconds. After switching OFF / ON you can play exactly were it interrupted for 55 seconds again.
